They didn't let you forget for a second that this movie didn't take place in the 90's.Īnd then there were the jump scares. They had drones, portable GPS devices, cell phones, jump drives, battery chargers, hard drives to dump SD cards, special op style LED's. The campers had way more modern gadgets than necessary. They really wanted to drive home the fact that this was a modern remake. There was another aspect of Blair Witch that really took me out of the movie. There's scratchy microphones, screaming, and did I mention the endless camera shaking? A lot of screaming too. Like the original, there's endless running, screaming and camera shaking. It happens in modern times, but it follows the original very closely. So, I suppose Blair Witch is like a reboot of Book of Shadows? Not really, because Blair Witch feels like a scene-by-scene reboot of The Blair Witch Project. It's odd because there's already a sequel called Book of Shadows, which was about a group of people who do the exact same thing. There's something evil hiding in the woods.īlair Witch is like a sequel to The Blair Witch Project, where a group of people go out and basically recreate what happened to the original Blair Witch crew.
